I don’t need to remember my username. Nor do I need to identify with it. In my ideal world, being online would be completely anonymous, with absolutely no way for the government to censor or identify a person. But we don’t live in an ideal world. So to make it harder for groups like Palantir or the FBI to identify me, I compartmentalize all my digital activity. New names and identities for every service I use. No contact or overlap between them.
Well I respect that, absolutely. I just don’t think I could do it.
And I don’t know, I guess I have a hard time letting go of reputation, like as a general concept. If you don’t retain some identity online, you lose that aspect of reputation.
Does that not strike you as boring?
Like do you identify in any way with that moniker?
I feel like I would forget my username.
